Excellent book full of common sense. Written by one of the most eloquent preachers that ever lived. I have loved everything I have ever read of Spurgeon’s. You will laugh. You will agree. You will think. You will refocus. It is a good book. Read it. I think it is PDF’d online. I read it on Kindle.
Excerpt from John Ploughman’s Talk:
He who believes that either Whigs or Tories will let us off with light taxes must have been born the day after the last of March; and he who imagines that county boards and local districts will ever be free from corruption must have been educated in an idiot asylum. He who believes in promises made at elections has long ears and may try to eat thistles. Mr. Plausible has been around asking all the working men for their votes, and he will do all sorts of good things for them. Will he? Yes, the day after tomorrow, a little later than never. Poor men who expect the ‘friends of the working man’ to do anything for them must be ignorant, very ignorant. When they get their seats, of course they cannot stand up for their principles except when it is to their own interest to do so.
